S3 Ep025 Empathy, Intersectionality, and Public Space:with Han Malyn, Pt1


Listen Later

Kinderpublic welcomes Han Malyn (pronouns they/them) to discuss intersectionality and empathy in the design and operation of public space. Han is an institutional fundraiser and has worked in the nonprofit sector for over 15 years, including major organizations working in anti-poverty, human rights, LGBTQI+ community, and arts education. We reflect on:

-The current state of safety for women and gender minorities in public space, and how that negatively impacts accessibility;

-How restrictions on breastfeeding in public space and the safety of pregnant people share a relationship with protecting the safety of the LGBTQI+ community;

-Why Han moved from work in the art and art education sector to human rights;

-Why we should prioritize tolerance and “do no harm” over knowing and categorizing.
